Does it matter? Its authoritarian behavior regardless of the sales pitch.

  Yes, of course it matters. There are much closer examples temporally, politically, and physically that Myanmar would have actually learned from (e.g., India's Modi shutting down Kashmir's internet beginning in 2019). Trying to associate the actions of Myanmar's military junta with a movement a century past and on the opposite political spectrum is an obvious and tortured stretch by the GP and its upvoters to indirectly attack their current political enemies.

    The OP wasn't associating with Lenin, just the method to take over and control a population. Surely you see the similarities - pedantism aside. Lenin was one of the first modern leader to use these tools.
